Middle School Update

Volume 7 Number 20

February 25, 2008

CALENDAR:

AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES BOOKLETS will be given to students on March 3rd. They need to return the forms by Wednesday 5th.  Decisions to cancel undersubscribed activities will be made that day.  Students who sign up later are added on a space available basis.

SWIMMING:  Middle School PE classes will be in the pool for 3 weeks.  All students who have Mr. Marquez for PE will be in the pool from Feb 28 - March 25. We hope that all students will be prepared on the first day to go into the pool. If they don't have a swimsuit with them they will be reminded to bring it beginning the next day. Students are expected to wear an FDR swimsuit and cap and bring a towel.

OUTSTANDING OBLIGATIONS: Students who had overdue library books, textbooks not turned in, school musical instruments, team uniforms, or owed money to the kiosk did NOT receive report cards on December 21st. They instead received a letter saying what the outstanding obligation was.  These cards may be picked up in the Middle School Office once the obligations are cleared.

ACCESS TO POWERSCHOOL - First semester final grades are visible only as the final 1-7 grade in the subject. Further information is on the report card.  You will find these by clicking on “Grades History” icon.

EIGHTH GRADE SCIENCE/HUMANITIES PROJECT: The eighth grade students will begin a 3 week project on February 28th. They will be using classtime in science and humanities to do this, this is not a homework assignment. It is very important that students return to school for second semester on time in order to finish the work on time.
